seneck to members Of Congress acting as at
torneys for railroad companies holding char
tiers or having received grants of land or Pc
cuniary aid from the United States. A bill
for that purpose is pending, and has been the
cause of much angry discussion for some days
past. No doubt the secret of the colossal
fortunes made by some members of Congress
in Washington, may be found in the abuse
which this bill is designed to correct: men,
bers being heavily feed by wealthy railroad
corporations for their influence and legal
ability, if not their votes. That such sIate
of things is demoralizing, calling loudly for
the interposition of restraining statutes, need
not be affirmed. Senator E. X. Wilson, of
this State, made a vigorous speech in support
of the measure on the 28th ult. He very
broadly and distinctly affirmed that lawyer
with client retainer in his pocket and a
larger fee in expectancy, is rarely in frame
of mind to do exact justice to the other side.
A member of Congress in such a position,
cannot but be surrounded by an atmosphere
ofsuspicion. The people have an abiding
conviction that no member of Congress has
a right to place himself in any such indicate
and compromising position. Whether the
bill will become law or not, it is very clear
that it ought to. The corporation attorneys
in Congress, however, will not surrender the
possibility of enriching themselves by corpo-
ration fees without struggle.

Rafting.

Fer the Democratic Advocated
We think the increasing popularity Of this
game, of chance, demands consideration from
those who have the good of the community
at heart This species of gambling, though
of comparatively Ieceut origin has inslnuated
itself everywhere, having long since entered
church, fairs and basars, &C., held for heneV-
client purposes. Receiving, as it does, the
sanction of these, is it any wonder that per
sons, even of intelligence, will not acknowi-
edge the thing to be gamb!ingf And those
who forbid cards in their homes, will engage
in rafting and encourage their children to 40
so, rejoicing with those who may chance 10
draw prizes, thus teaching them to rely on
what they call their good luck. Gaming IS
defined the art or act ofcontesting for prize.
The modes of conducting these games are
various, but surely any one to which the de
fiuition applies is gambling, and is so much
poison set ahoat in the moral atmosphere,
which thonch it may pass many by, viii taiEt
many more and blight some, Even our coun-
try stores have prize boxes on their counters,
bottles filled with grains of corn, and other
things for which money is solicited Tor the
privilege of guessing at the number OF grams,
&C., and for which tempting prizes are offered.
Our young people, unless guarded by home
influence, and frequently older persons yen
ture their money Then eolAe5 the disap-
pointmeGt to so i.:any, the realia alton to only
one. All will he likely to try again aud again
until may be they seek to live by chance
Cannot something be done to put down tins
evil, that has even entered our schools Lake
intemperance, the home is the place for the
example. Will not parents consider the
matter. VIII not the pulpit, the press ant

Haute and Evansville, Indiana, At Terre

more severe than those of last fall. The d.

heavy rumbling sounds which awakened the
soundest sleepers. Houses were shaken suf

and swaying of chandeliers.
